Cranberry Thyme Spritz

This cranberry thyme spritz is this year's party punch. Not only is it extra festive and pretty, but it's sweet, hinted lightly with flavors of thyme, spiked with a little vodka, and made with my very favorite, elderflower liquor. It's basically the perfect sweet holiday drink.
